Well i decided to do some rock hopping this fall in Montauk so i picked up a Penn 704z, did all the tricks, made my holes, painted it(no powder coat yet),got a sealed bearing, new handle,drag,drag knob,shaft and manual bail(not sure how this works) My question is do you guys pack the reel with grease? I mean really pack it tight or just lob a lot by the entryways? Thanks in advance.
Thanks Sudsy
I updated the picture, as you can see this is not the rubber bumper/metal cap style. This is a thread stud with slotted screw end. I've seen these on other MPU's (I believe in this thread?). It is definitely a more secure way as the rubber ones have a tendency to fall out--plus there's no need as there bail arm will remain still.
Ok, the other fix is to cut a rubber washer from a bit of tire tube (or something similar), place it between the arm and the screw then tighten down the screw - it'll hold it in place well.
I know this post is old as they come, but I'm looking to have a 704z that i just purchased drilled. i live in Queens NY. Any and all help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance.:adore:
I'm still looking for some paid help with drilling my 704z. I'm in Queens, NY. I did my 710z a few years ago but after suffering a stroke my hand is not steady enough to attempt it again.
Hey all, I just finished up a 704 and thought I would share. I stripped it, blasted it, drilled it, shot it with matte black Duracoat, cleaned and polished all the brass, etc, etc. Tried to do something kind of original with my drill design also.
Whatcha think?
I think 'Moly grease' stands for molybdenum. Not really sure, but it seem to keep ball joints, U-joints, and pins in good order so why not?
